One can never have too many cookies.
Plus, this cookies are thin, so you can eat more, right?
Right.
Campfire Cookies
Adapted from Smitten Kitchen
Ingredients
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
8 tablespoons butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup marshmallows
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325˚F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Bake for 3 more minutes, and cool on a wire rack.
Here we go!
Break the pieces up and cut into smaller portions.
Go ahead, do some quality control. Make sure the chocolate tastes ok.
Add your marshmallows and chocolate. Swoon.
Admire your cookie army.
You knew this was coming… the leaning tower of cookies!
Yes, I lost three over the railing while attempting to photograph this.
Take a bite, close your eyes, and declare their deliciousness.
I made a batch of these cookies last week and determined that this is by far the best raw cookie dough batter I’ve ever tasted… which is probably why that batch didn’t yield as many delicious sugary bites. I wanted to try these again, as I made the cookies way too big last time. This time they were just right.
Annnnnd, the money shot.
The marshmallows and chocolate are reminiscent of s’mores enjoyed around a campfire. I found these cookies to be extra-good because they use milk chocolate, instead of semi-sweet chocolate. I always prefer milk chocolate in my baked goods, but that’s personal preference.
Oh my, I am going to love these. We always make smores when we have a campfire and these are great for wintertime!
I love s’mores SO much. These cookies look incredible!
Who doesn’t love smores!? and in cookie form!? perfection. I love Elf! I actually made a reference to it the other day and the person didn’t get it
I was so disappointed!
These look great!! And I can’t get graham crackers in Australia, so this can be my new S’more fix!!!!
Oh my…smores and cookies? That’s a dangerous 1-2 combo…and much better than anything we ever made in Girl Scouts back in the day! Love these…hoping I get the silpat that’s on my Christmas list so I can do more baking in the new year!!
These look sooo yummy! I love Elf, best Christmas movie ever!
These cookies look so mouthwatering…. Thank you for sharing, Luna
A s’mores cookie!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!???!!!! I’m in!
i will sacrifice my health and eat the three that fell over the railing. Five second rule. K?
Man these sound delicious. And look delicious. I would have eaten them all before anyone had a chance to stuff anything into the VCR.
I’m all over the milk chocolate, too…Yum yum yum. Well done!
Interesting twist on a Smore.
These cookies look so good! I would never think to melt marshmallows and chocolate on top! Yummy!!
ELF! Come on everyone MUST know that one! Your cookies look fabulous and so yummy!
These are way too yummy…and I LOVE ELF!!!!!!!!
These cookies look amazing and the movie Elf is probably one of my favorite Christmas movies (besides Home Alone). Thanks for sharing!
Campfire cookies…that is a very creative idea! I think I am going to have to try these out myself
Oh my word, I’m in love with your cookies!!! Not only do they look incredibly delicious but stunning at well. Gorgeous photos! Anything that has chocolate has my name on it. But then add marshmallows too and I’m all over those cookies! Love them
You really CAN’T ever have too many cookies! I have set my DVR to record all the Christmas movies on this weekend – first on the list? Elf of course! I’m already aching for my yearly fix. In addition, I also dabble intensely in Christmas Vacation, Scrooged, Love Actually.
LOL- Love the quote from Elf
Those cookies totally look like winter cookies- YUM! Reminds me of camping around the fire- loved those days!
These cookies look delicious! I’m sorry you lost a few while photographing. A great recipe I will try with my kids who love smores!
PS: Elf is my all-time favorite Christmas movie. I even watch it when it’s not holiday time b/c it cracks me up:)
oooh – i have a cookie swap coming up at work. these would definitely do the trick, maybe using red and green M&Ms for seasonal effect!
Wow, Liz, these cookies look wonderful! I have been craving smores like crazy lately, and cookies too. So, how ’bout that? Your timing couldn’t have been better. These are going high on my list. Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE Elf. And this is seriously awesome. Mixing two great desserts into one? I only wish I’d thought of this myself.
I love this idea…..What a cool twist on the S’more! Yummo!
These sound SO good. I am all about chocolate and melty marshmallow
Wonderful! Especially for those of us who don’t have a fireplace!!
These look delicious! And I quote, “Buddy the elf, what’s your favorite color?” Love it!!
I just drooled on my keyboard! Those look heavenly!!!
I love smores and as a cookie absolutely brilliant!
xo
Beautiful photos of delicious looking cookies:)
A delicious leaning tower! And easy to whip up in a moment of weakness…Theresa
Yummy! I love smores and I also love the way that you can see whole pieces of the Hershey bars and marshmallows.
I hope you still ate the cookies that jumped over the railing
They look amazing!
These are out of control I must make these for my bf’s nephew – He just discovered toasting marshmallows this summer, and he would go berserk over these cookies.
Amazing cookies! Would love to feature one of them in my 12 Cookies of Christmas contest: http://www.foodandwinechickie.com/2010/12/01/12-cookies-of-christmas-contest/
Cheers,
